حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، وَمُسَدَّدٌ، - وَالإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرًا قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَوْسٍ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صَلاَةُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَهُ وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ وَكَانَ يُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا وَيَصُومُ يَوْمًا ‏"‏ .

English translation
Abd Allah b. 'And (b. al-'As) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: The fast most liked by Allah is the one observed by Dawud (David), and the prayer dearer to Allah is the one offered by Dawud (David): he would sleep half the night, and stand (in prayer) one-third of it, and sleep one-sixth of it. He would go without fasting one day, and fast the other day
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনু আমর (রাযি.) বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে বলেছেনঃ আল্লাহর নিকট সর্বোত্তম সওম হলো দাঊদ (আঃ)-এর সওম এবং আল্লাহর নিকট সবচেয়ে প্রিয় সালাত হলো দাঊদ (আঃ)-এর সালাত। তিনি রাতের অর্ধেক অংশ ঘুমাতেন এবং এক-তৃতীয়াংশ কিয়াম করতেন। আবার এক-ষষ্ঠমাংশ ঘুমাতেন। আর তিনি একদিন সওম ত্যাগ করতেন এবং একদিন সওম রাখতেন। সহীহ।
